The 2014 GT3's got an extra year added to the normal 4 year warranty.

We have 2 years warranty for new Porsches in Europe. You guys are lucky.

Says the guy whose avatar is presumably him in the Karussell... Not to mention Europeans have access to some pretty sweet (and fast/high speed) roads that are legal...

So, grass is greener? I do prefer our gas prices...

levd

Good point, DrJuperman.

Fast legal roads are not really enjoyable in GT3. Once the speed is over 250 km/h, it's rather unpleasant in this car. Karussell is also not the best place for this car, as it shakes the soul out of your bones. Still I'm happy to have these instead of 2 more free warranty years.

Note of these matter though when your car is being at the dealer's with an open engine waiting for PAG verdict.

DrJupeman

Agreed on Karussell, but not sure I agree with the +250 km/h other than perhaps just noise? I found the car to be rock solid at those speeds on the autobahn (300km/h).

levd

Yes, the sound of engine constantly revving at high rpm makes me nervous. I start to think "5 more minutes this way and the engine will fail".

Probably I had too much "Engine control fault" experience with GT3.

DrJupeman

302 km/h run GT3

Audio isn't great on this, but for those who won't be able to take their cars to 190mph+, here's what it sounds/looks like. You might understand why the warranty is 1/2 "over there"...

levd

I sounds much louder in real life. For me, 250 km/h is the limit of comfort zone in this car. High revs are ok on track, but are disturbing when you have a long ride on autobahn.

In California if you don't have your vehicle for 30 days it is a Lemon.

here's a question, my gt3 is in the dealer in edison nj (ray catena) and so far all the local dealers that either myself or a buddy have spoken to, none have replaced any gt3 engines with this misfire issue, so (finally the question!!!) demographically what parts of the country are all these engine being replaced???

robmypro

If I went anywhere near that fast I would be concerned about a mechanical failure or tire blowout. Not that brave!

levd

No luck for me this time.

PAG is not giving me a new engine. Instead, the top end will be replaced.

Dealer said their estimation is mid-June.

DrJupeman

As someone who has crashed from both (on track), I will tell you the concern is real!

On the autobahn you worry about all those other cars pulling out in front of you, also.

It was okay, I had my wife sitting next to me, too.

Have avoided this thread for a while... Just saw your problems Levd... Depressing stuff.

The wear must not have been that bad. Any photos?
